The Best Ever Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Fall wouldn’t be fall without apples. Or pumpkins. But I am focusing on apples. At the moment. Granny Smith apples to be exact. Tart, green, firm Granny Smith apples. Recently, I baked an apple pie from scratch. Yes, from making the pie crust to peeling and slicing the apples. All of it. Oh my, what goodness that was. Why do I wait so long to make apple pie. Last year I showed you my apple pie in this post.

Well, I had a couple of apples left over from my pie. The apples that didn’t make the cut for the pie. I couldn’t let them go to waste. So, they went into The Best Ever Apple Cinnamon Muffins.

My Kitchen Helper

I do have a confession to make. I had help peeling and slicing the apples. No it wasn’t in the form of a sous chef. My daughter refuses to take on that role. It is this little gem of a kitchen gadget. An apple peeler that will also slice and core the apple. I just love kitchen gadgets.

I found this little gem at World Market for $10.00. Bargain, right. It works fabulously.

The apple is inserted onto the prongs and then you turn the handle. The apple is slowly peeled and then sliced into perfect rings.

I then sliced the rings into small chunks before adding to my muffin mixture.
